How about this: The local shop told me they rejet by "shimming the needles" the old fashioned way. BS?

Also, I don't have the competition core in the V and H.

That works, if they know what they are doing(doubtful) and took enough time (very doubtful)to do it right.

The CV carbs didn't have multiple clip grooves in the needles, shimming does the same thing.

What size main jets did they put in?

So your pipe is basically like a glass pack with about a one inch tube down the middle?

I would think that if you spike the throttle at speed the rpms would jump noticably if your clutches are slipping.

Or:

With most clutches if you let out the clutch in 3rd-4th gears at idle it should stall the engine instantly if your clutch springs are strong - if the bike moves at all they are slipping.

Essentially, from the way I understand the end of the pipe is limited with a core at the end of the pipe that is only about 1 1/4" diameter. Its supposed to produce a similar to stock back pressure and more heat in the pipe to help prevent corrosion by drying the pipes better. I don't know the validity of that, but what I was told.
